We will be able to interact with the residents while we observe their typical homes, churches, schools and shops.
Night excursion
When night comes, the jungle allows us to enjoy unique sounds and sensations. Our guide will tell us when we will begin the excursion by canoe or on foot. By the light of a flashlight, we will observe the world of nocturnal insects, spiders, cicadas, praying mantises, etc. We will also distinguish the song of the owls and the “ayaymamas” interpreted as the language of fantastic beings in the local imagination.

After breakfast, we will board our boat that will take us to the opposite end of the Amazon or as it is said locally to the “huashalado”.

    ¡Increíble Perú! Mi experiencia con Inka Peru Travel fue absolutamente excepcional. Su equipo era profesional, receptivo y se preocupaba genuinamente por adaptar el viaje a mis necesidades. Durante el viaje, nuestro guía fue increíblemente conocedor, paciente y apasionado por la historia y la cultura peruana. Compartieron historias e ideas que hicieron que sitios como Machu Picchu, Valle Sagrado y Cusco cobraran vida. Aprecié especialmente lo organizado que estaba todo. Lo que más destacaba era su toque personal. Fueron más allá para garantizar la comodidad y la seguridad, incluso se registraron durante todo el viaje para asegurarse de que todo era perfecto. Me sentí como algo más que un turista — me sentí como un huésped valioso descubriendo Perú a través de los ojos locales. Christian (nuestro guía) hizo nuestro viaje tan especial, pregunta por él. . tiene mucho que ofrecer : ) Recomendaría 100% Inka Perú Viajar a cualquiera que busque una experiencia peruana auténtica, libre de preocupaciones y bellamente curada y más allá! En el aspecto físico de las cosas: Esto fue difícil debido a la altitud, realmente necesitas entrenar antes de hacer esto. Entrena con tu propia maleta que quieras llevar. En su mayor parte, esto es glamping ya que tienes porteadores montando tus tiendas, quitándolas y asegurándote de tener comidas calientes 3 veces al día. - #desafíoAceptado#leyasBucketList
